BYB Express

A busy week at the bar coupled with preparation for the Laker game and low mowing have slowed me down so once again you get the Express today. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to mourn the death of the Big 12.

F My Life Moment of the Day
Today, I got the raise I'd been waiting for a long time. Later, I went home and told my wife and kids the news. As I was telling them, my daughter starts to laugh. Confused, I ask why she's laughing. She then explains that she makes more money than me, and she works as a barber in the mall. FML

I think I just spotted Baptain Sulu's new boyfriend.

CONFERENCE EXPANSION - My pants are expanding thinking about these shakeups
So the Big 12 is pretty much kaput with today's announcement that Colorado is the first Big 12 school to jump to the Pac 10 and that Nebraska will accept an invite to the Big Ten tomorrow. I've heard a little bit of everything on conference expansion. Some are upset that it will change the college football tradition, possibly even creating a playoff or that it will make road trips harder to make. Others are enticed by the prospect of more money or more conference television networks. I'm just happy to be getting the hell away from the Longhorns.

Here's a good video showing Nebraska's preparation for moving to the Big Ten. Either way you've got Nebraska to thank or blame. Here's an excerpt from Mark Schlabach's report on Colorado's leaving.

A Big 12 football coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach on Wednesday night that if Nebraska left the Big 12 the conference would dissolve, according to his athletics director and university president. The coach said Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado would join the Pac-10, leaving Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State behind.

The coach said the Pac-10 favored Colorado over Baylor because of the Buffaloes' presence in the Denver TV market.

"Nebraska is the key," the coach said.

A source close to the Nebraska program told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that athletic director Tom Osborne informed some staff members within the past 24 hours the Cornhuskers were going to make the move to the Big Ten.

A source with knowledge of the Big Ten's plans confirmed to ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg that Nebraska will join the Big Ten by the end of this week or early next week. The source said the formal process of accepting a candidate either has started or would be under way shortly, as Nebraska must formally apply for admission to the Big Ten.

"It's going to happen, unless something crazy happens in the final hours," the source said. "I think by this weekend, it's going to be wrapped up."

But to show it doesn't always have to be about me and my team. Here's a clip of Tommy Tuberville discussing the expansion prospects. Peace bitches!

Another bold comment from Pierce
ESPNBoston.com

Striking a similar tone as he did in Orlando in the Eastern Conference finals, Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce directed a bold prediction at Lakers fans in the final minutes of his team's victory in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

After Pau Gasol committed a hard foul on Kendrick Perkins with 1:12 remaining in Game 2 and the Celtics leading, 97-90, Pierce, as he helped his teammate off the floor along the baseline near the hoop, was heard on video replays yelling, "We ain't coming back to LA!"

This isn't the first time during these playoffs that Pierce incited anger in an opposing team's fan base with a bold statement. After a Game 2 victory against the Magic in Orlando, which gave the Celtics a 2-0 series lead, Pierce looked into the camera during a postgame interview on ESPN and told Celtics fans "We're coming home to close it out."

I wanted to get to this the other day but I was too busy making fun of Ray Allen going 0-fer and Boston fans accousting midgets. But I thought all Lakers fans deserved to say "I told you so" to the King of shit talk Mr. Paul Pierce. You're coming back to your boyhood hometown again and don't get too comfortable. There are stabbings in L.A. too.

Are You A Mexican Or A Mexicant?

Look, it's easy to go the other way on this but I don't think its unreasonable for Wal Mart to assert that price matching only applies to some stores. Sure there a lot of great Mexican food places and Mexican Markets in Texas. Some I wouldn't step into without a sawed off and a desire to be sick for three days. I don't think Wal Mart was asserting that Mexicans were inferior, just their markets. By the way if this fat bitch is so comfortable with Mexican markets why didn't she go there to get the chicken instead of troubling the fine people at Wal Mart. Maam, maybe if you weren't eating discount chicken you might not eat as much of it.
